Review
"A prophet of British imperialism." --George Orwell
"Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." --Henry James
"These stories are the best account of the nature of the Victorian Raj ever written." --Griff Rhys Jones, actor and editor, "The Nation's Favourite Twentieth Century Poems"
"As the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognized as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with." --Douglas Kerr, author, "George Orwell"
